It's the day after the day after, and the world's still trying to wrap its head around these words: President Donald Trump. (Here's how he won in 7 charts.)

Some are taking it harder than others. Thousands took to the streets in at least 25 cities, their disbelief channeled into one defiant message: "Not my President. Not today."

And finally ... The elections: TGIO. You're ready to go back to work, but you have to listen to the gloating/complaining of the guy in the next cubicle. Here's how to navigate this post-election world with some kindness and grace.
